Our Commitment to the Facebook Community
By Christopher Slater Tow on Tuesday, November 29, 2017 at 9:39 AM

I founded Facebook on the idea that people want to share and connect with people in their lives, but to do this everyone needs complete control over who they share with at all times.

This idea has been the core of Facebook since day one. When I built the first version of Facebook, almost nobody I knew wanted a public page on the internet. That seemed scary. But as long as they could make their page private, they felt safe sharing with their friends online. Control was key. With Facebook, for the first time, people had the tools they needed to do this. That's how Facebook became the world's biggest community online. We made it easy for people to feel comfortable sharing things about their real lives.

We've added many new tools since then: sharing photos, creating groups, commenting on and liking your friends' posts and recently even listening to music or watching videos together. With each new tool, we've added new privacy controls to ensure that you continue to have complete control over who sees everything you share. Because of these tools and controls, most people share many more things today than they did a few years ago.

Overall, I think we have a good history of providing transparency and control over who can see your information.

That said, I'm the first to admit that we've made a bunch of mistakes. In particular, I think that a small number of high profile mistakes, like Beacon four years ago and poor execution as we transitioned our privacy model two years ago, have often overshadowed much of the good work we've done.

I also understand that many people are just naturally skeptical of what it means for hundreds of millions of people to share so much personal information online, especially using any one service. Even if our record on privacy were perfect, I think many people would still rightfully question how their information was protected. It's important for people to think about this, and not one day goes by when I don't think about what it means for us to be the stewards of this community and their trust.

Facebook has always been committed to being transparent about the information you have stored with us – and we have led the internet in building tools to give people the ability to see and control what they share.

But we can also always do better. I'm committed to making Facebook the leader in transparency and control around privacy.

As we have grown, we have tried our best to listen closely to the people who use Facebook. We also work with regulators, advocates and experts to inform our privacy practices and policies. Recently, the US Federal Trade Commission established agreements with Google and Twitter that are helping to shape new privacy standards for our industry. Today, the FTC announced a similar agreement with Facebook. These agreements create a framework for how companies should approach privacy in the United States and around the world.

For Facebook, this means we're making a clear and formal long-term commitment to do the things we've always tried to do and planned to keep doing -- giving you tools to control who can see your information and then making sure only those people you intend can see it.

In the last 18 months alone, we've announced more than 20 new tools and resources designed to give you more control over your Facebook experience. Some of the things these include are:

• An easier way to select your audience when making a new post
• Inline privacy controls on all your existing posts
• The ability to review tags made by others before they appear on your profile
• Friend lists that are easier to create and that maintain themselves automatically
• A new groups product for sharing with smaller sets of people
• A tool to view your profile as someone else would see it
• Tools to ensure your information stays secure like double login approval
• Mobile versions of your privacy controls
• An easy way to download all your Facebook data
• A new apps dashboard to control what your apps can access
• A new app permission dialog that gives you clear control over what an app can do anytime you add one
• Many more privacy education resources

As a matter of fact, privacy is so deeply embedded in all of the development we do that every day tens of thousands of servers worth of computational resources are consumed checking to make sure that on any webpage we serve, that you have access to see each of the sometimes hundreds or even thousands of individual pieces of information that come together to form a Facebook page. This includes everything from every post on a page to every tag in those posts to every mutual friend shown when you hover over a person's name. We do privacy access checks literally tens of billions of times each day to ensure we're enforcing that only the people you want see your content. These privacy principles are written very deeply into our code.

Even before the agreement announced by the FTC today, Facebook had already proactively addressed many of the concerns the FTC raised. For example, their complaint to us mentioned our Verified Apps Program, which we canceled almost two years ago in December 2009. The same complaint also mentions cases where advertisers inadvertently received the ID numbers of some users in referrer URLs. We fixed that problem over a year ago in May 2010.

In addition to these product changes, the FTC also recommended improvements to our internal processes. We've embraced these ideas, too, by agreeing to improve and formalize the way we do privacy review as part of our ongoing product development process. As part of this, we will establish a biennial independent audit of our privacy practices to ensure we're living up to the commitments we make.

Even further, effective today I am creating two new corporate officer roles to make sure our commitments will be reflected in what we do internally -- in the development of our products and the security of our systems -- and externally -- in the way we work collaboratively with regulators, government agencies and privacy groups from around the world:

- Erin Egan will become Chief Privacy Officer, Policy. Erin recently joined Facebook after serving as a partner and co-chair of the global privacy and data security practice of Covington & Burling, the respected international law firm. Throughout her career, Erin has been deeply involved in legislative and regulatory efforts to address privacy, data security, spam, spyware and other consumer protection issues. Erin will lead our engagement in the global public discourse and debate about online privacy and ensure that feedback from regulators, legislators, experts and academics from around the world is incorporated into Facebook's practices and policies.

- Michael Richter will become Chief Privacy Officer, Products. Michael is currently Facebook's Chief Privacy Counsel on our legal team. In his new role, Michael will join our product organization to expand, improve and formalize our existing program of internal privacy review. He and his team will work to ensure that our principles of user control, privacy by design and transparency are integrated consistently into both Facebook's product development process and our products themselves.

These two positions will further strengthen the processes that ensure that privacy control is built into our products and policies. I'm proud to have two such strong individuals with so much privacy expertise serving in these roles.

Today's announcement formalizes our commitment to providing you with control over your privacy and sharing -- and it also provides protection to ensure that your information is only shared in the way you intend. As the founder and CEO of Facebook, I look forward to working with the Commission as we implement this agreement. It is my hope that this agreement makes it clear that Facebook is the leader when it comes to offering people control over the information they share online.

Finally, I also want to reaffirm the commitment I made when I first launched Facebook. We will serve you as best we can and work every day to provide you with the best tools for you to share with each other and the world. We will continue to improve the service, build new ways for you to share and offer new ways to protect you and your information better than any other company in the world.

    German court rules Facebook data use, privacy settings illegal













    German court rules Facebook data use, privacy settings illegal
    A regional court in Germany has found Facebook’s default privacy settings and use of personal data it collects from users to be in violation of consumer protection laws.
    The Berlin court found that Facebook did not provide users enough information for them to understand how their data is being collected and that any agreements users signed did not constitute meaningful consent.
    VZBV, the German privacy advocacy group that filed the suit, argued that data collection agreements that Facebook users are automatically opted into don’t give users enough notice about what they’re agreeing to.

    “Facebook hides default settings that are not privacy-friendly in its privacy center and does not provide sufficient information about it when users register,” said Heiko Dünkel, a litigation policy officer at the VZBV. “This does not meet the requirement for informed consent.”
    The court ruled that several Facebook default data sharing settings did not count as consent from the user. It also found clauses in Facebook’s terms of service to be invalid, including its policy of requiring users to use their “authentic names” on the website.
    Facebook told The Guardian that it intended to appeal the decision.
    “We are working hard to ensure that our guidelines are clear and easy to understand and that the services offered by Facebook are in full accordance with the law,” the company said in a statement.
    The social media company is also dealing with scrutiny from the national government in Germany and the European Union over its data collection and privacy policies.
    Facebook had previously said that it will be making significant changes to its privacy settings to conform with the EU's new General Data Protection Regulation, laws covering data use across the EU.
    “We’re rolling out a new privacy center, globally, that will put the core privacy settings for Facebook in one place and make it much easier for people to manage their data,” Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg said of the changes in January.




    WhatsApp Co-Founder Leaving Facebook After Dispute Over Ads

    Jan Koum, Facebook Inc. director and co-founder of its WhatsApp unit, is leaving the messaging service after what people familiar with the matter described as disagreement over putting advertising on its app and frustration over the confines of working in a big company.
    Mr. Koum, who was chief executive of WhatsApp, gave no reason for leaving in a Facebook post on Monday about his departure. The move follows the departure last year of fellow WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton, who has since been publicly critical of the social-media giant. The two men, both privacy advocates who started their encrypted messaging app nearly a decade ago, joined Facebook after it acquired WhatsApp in 2014 for $22 billion, making them both billionaires.
    Mr. Koum’s departure followed an internal debate over whether to put advertising in WhatsApp, a move that Mr. Koum opposed, as did Mr. Acton, according to a person familiar with the matter.
    WhatsApp is free to users and has long eschewed advertising—the main source of Facebook’s business—leaving it with little or no revenue. But in coming months, Facebook has discussed plans to introduce ads to its “Status” feature, which allows users to post images and videos that disappear within 24 hours, much like on Instagram or Snap Inc.’s Snapchat, the person said.
    Another person familiar with the matter said Mr. Koum won’t leave immediately and is expected to walk away with his Facebook stock almost fully vested. He no longer wants to work for a large company, the person added.
    Facebook is expected to announce as early as Tuesday that Mr. Koum also is leaving its board of directors, that person said.
    Mr. Koum didn’t respond to questions about the reason for his departure. A Facebook spokeswoman declined to answer questions. Mr. Koum is up for reelection as a Facebook director, according to Facebook’s proxy filing in April.
    Mr. Koum’s departure comes as Facebook is grappling with widespread criticism about its handling of the enormous amount of personal data that it uses to fuel its lucrative advertising business. Some privacy advocates say Facebook’s targeted ad tools are incompatible with privacy. Facebook executives in an earnings call last week stressed that the company can maintain its business model while still protecting users’ privacy.
    “It’s been almost a decade since Brian and I started WhatsApp, and it’s been an amazing journey with some of the best people,” Mr. Koum said in his Facebook post. “But it is time for me to move on.”
    He added: “I’m taking some time off to do things I enjoy outside of technology, such as collecting rare air-cooled Porsches, working on my cars and playing ultimate Frisbee. And I’ll still be cheering WhatsApp on—just from the outside.”
    Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, replying to Mr. Koum’s post, expressed gratitude for his work and “for everything you’ve taught me, including about encryption and its ability to take power from centralized systems and put it back in people’s hands. Those values will always be at the heart of WhatsApp.”
    Privacy was WhatsApp’s hallmark, and especially important to Mr. Koum, who grew up in Soviet-era Ukraine. Messages once delivered, were removed from the company’s servers. The company once said it was built “around the goal of knowing as little about you as possible.”
    The company rapidly gained global popularity, with some 450 million users by the time the founders agreed to sell to Facebook in February 2014, following five days of talks that ended on Valentine’s Day.
    In August 2016, WhatsApp stirred criticism from privacy advocates when it seemed to veer from its promise by announcing it would start to share user data with Facebook.
    The prospect of introducing advertising amplified tensions between Messrs. Koum and Acton and other Facebook executives, the person said. The Washington Post earlier reported Mr. Koum’s departure over the internal tensions.
    In March, Mr. Acton appeared to join critics of Facebook’s handling of user data, with a message on his Twitter account saying “It is time. #deletefacebook.”
    Messrs. Koum and Acton had clauses in their contracts with Facebook that allowed an acceleration of their contracts if Facebook added advertising to the app. Mr. Koum’s contract with Facebook wasn’t supposed to end until November, the person familiar with the matter said.

    Tone-Deaf: How Facebook Misread America’s Mood on Russia

    Social-media giant played down allegations Russia exploited its platform, deepening perceptions it is oblivious to public concern about its social impact



    Weeks after Facebook Inc. disclosed it had been exploited by Russia-backed propagandists, the company was still underestimating its problems, with users and advertisers and, crucially, Washington.
    At an October off-the-record conference of tech-industry elites in Hawaii, Facebook’s head of advertising, Rob Goldman, defended Facebook’s response and argued the Russians bought ads to exploit social divisions, not primarily to sway the 2016 U.S. presidential election, say people who heard his remarks.
